Therapy..To do or not to do?? That is the question.

O.K. this time around I have been in therapy for about 6 months.  I really love my therapist(let's call her "The Sane One". I don't know if anyone relates but sometimes I wonder if I am in therapy just to create yet another competition??? Hmm, does this sound just a bit delusional?
Well, this is where this crazy thought comes from..While attending therapy I am constantly thinking that I need to prove that I am super controlled, superior to others(because I can starve),and worthy of the therapy I am receiving.  Yet, I do feel therapy helps to make me aware of thoughts/behaviors I have been previously unaware of.  Sometimes I am soaring through the sky, feeling on top of the world.."I can do this, I can be as thin as I need to be, This is my purpose, This is my only friend, This comforts me, This loves me, never abandons me"and Sometimes, there are days like today"I can't do this, I am weak, I resent being punished, I want friends, I want to trust again, I want to be comforted by another human not by "my master", I am tired, I am depressed, I want to live not just exist preoccupied by all of these rules and demands I have created to survive in this cruel uncertain world..I could babble all day.. Today is the day, I laugh then I cry, I want to cease existing yet I am petrified of what comes next..109.109.109.109.109..I am sure, this time, that if I can shrink to 99 I will be at peace, I will be satisfied..Today I have sat, for what seemed like hours, on the toilet watching those beautiful birds..Red, Blue, Big, Small, Noisy, Quiet but most of all free,Free,Free.....Can I join them, please? I long for freedom, I long to be weightless, gliding through the air..No worries, no cages, no scales, no treadmills, no thoughts of food, no rules, Just me and the birds....Much love and light...

I know this is an old post but I'm commenting anyways! Mwahhhaahh!

Oh therapy. I'm with you girl. Been seeing mine for over a year now and every day I walk in there with the plan to never go back. Yet, every week there I sit again. I completely understand the competition aspect of therapy that you speak of. You are beautiful. I can see you in your words. And I think you are lovely. <3 Jade
